What happened
In a fake government website alert posted on X on October 13, 2026, CyberPulse (@CyberPulse56) flagged ncrp-cyber-incident-portal-dps97l520lcn.edgeone.dev as a suspicious site impersonating India's National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP). The post classified it as government impersonation and potential phishing.
It was the second NCRP lookalike on edgeone.dev that the account flagged that day.
How the scam works
India's real National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal is cybercrime.gov.in, and the national cybercrime helpline is 1930. Fake versions of the portal target people who have already been scammed and are trying to report it. Such pages typically collect personal and banking details, and can be used to ask for "processing" or "recovery" fees.
Sites built on free hosting subdomains such as edgeone.dev can be created quickly and replaced when blocked, so new addresses often appear.
Note: this report is based on a short public post on X. The "How the scam works" section describes how this type of scam generally operates; it does not add details about this specific site beyond what the post says.
